About us

KB Electric has won "Best Electrician" 3 years in a row from Suburban Essex Magazine due to our dedication and attention to detail for each customer we handle. KB Electric tackles big jobs, like generators and making homes safer by replacing knob and tube wiring with new, updated electricity. We also add hardwired smoke and carbon dioxide detectors. No job is too small, such as putting up new lighting fixtures, programmable thermostats, fixing doorbells and adding ceiling fans. We are modernizing homes by wall mounting TV's and putting recessed lighting in the ceilings. Not only that, KB ELECTRIC also can put in outside lights either in the yard or on the outside of the home to provide lighting once it is dark out.

Everything went extremely well as the team was professional, tidy, and responsive to my inquiries during the process. Special credit goes to Egan who led the team then returned on a separate date to perform additional work. His expertise made us feel at ease and the quality of his work is top notch. KB Electric is my go to electrician!

The project went very smoothly. The guys showed up on time, were very neat, did minimal damage to the plaster walls, patched up the spots that needed it, and gave us some good advice on how to hide TV wires, etc. The price was exactly as quoted. I would definitely use them again, and would recommend them to others.

They were fast and did a great job. I own a few properties and dealt with several other companies in the past, these are the best electricians by far.

Over price by about 2.5 times what it should be. Workers charged by the hour, and included their lunch break in the bill. Did a very poor job of patching hole in the ceiling and cleaning up, which they charged me time for. The outlet does work.

These guys were ABSOLUTELY AWFUL. They came to my house to do a routine panel upgrade. I like to understand the nature of the job and what's going to be done to my house (drilling holes, etc) before a contractor does it. When I asked the electrician what was involved, he tersely replied, "You don't trust me to know how to do my job?" Well, turns out I shouldn't have. They never sealed up the hole they drilled into the side of the house leading into basement. The improperly grounded the main power line. WE FAILED TOWN INSPECTION THREE TIMES! They just couldn't get it right. The ground wire still sticks out of the ground. After we were more than six months into the job, they finally came over to label the panel. It looks like a third grader wrote it out. After making payment in full, I called the owner to tell him of my disappointment. While he acknowledged that the job was done poorly, he said that he hadn't been as close to the business recently because he was building his own house! I've never had a contractor actually admit that he put his own interests ahead of his customer's.

There are a lot of guys who can run wire. It's a commodity experience. What you are paying for is the customer service and attention to detail. These guys will give you neither. STAY AWAY.

All of the knob and tube wiring in our new house needed to be replaced and inspected before we could move in. Working against a very tight deadline, KB threw four electricians on the job. It was all done ahead of schedule.
We've since called them again when the power went out in most of our house. KB sent over an electrician within a couple of hours and restored power the same day.
Given the service that they've provided, they have a customer for life.

Extremely courteous and professional people at KB. Everyone from the electrician to Alicia at the office. They were able to get to my house in short notice and issue the certification. If you are selling your home, I would highly recommend them in Montclair.

Perfectly. It was very simple to schedule days for them to come out (we even had to reschedule one day and they were very understanding). They arrived on time and were very professional. They were courteous, did not make a mess, and kept us informed about the work that was going on. They labeled all of the circuit breakers. There were no surprises with the pricing and everyone in the office is very friendly and helpful. We were surprised it went so smoothly, given that we moved into an older house that needs a LOT of TLC.
It's difficult to find an electrician you can trust, but my husband and I feel like we found one in KB Electric! We will definitely be using them in the future when we do our addition and for any other electrical work that may come up. Their pricing was also much more reasonable than other electricians who gave us estimates - as much as a difference of $40 per outlet! We worked with Richie and highly recommend him. Great experience overall.

KB's electricians were great. Showed up on time, and were courteous, friendly and detailed. They were able to install the ceiling fixture in our living room with minimal holes, and did a great job. The upstairs rooms were easier since they could use the attic space. Overall the work was minimally invasive and done very well.
They did a fantastic job, and cleaned up thoroughly. There was a minor issue with having the wrong parts, but they remedied that quickly. It took them about a day to complete the job.
We're fully satisfied and would definitely call on them again in the future.
